Who is Responsible?

Unknown at this time...

There are two methods (that I know of) that Sockets de Troie can be unknowingly installed.

In the first, when the "server" portion is run, it shows an error dialog stating that SETUP32.DLL is missing. At the same time the "server" portion copies itself to WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory as MSCHV32.EXE and modifies the Windows Registry so it would be executed during every further Windows bootup.

In the second, when the "server" portion is run, it shows an error dialog stating that ISAPI32.DLL is missing. The "server" portion copies itself three times to the WINDOWS\ and WINDOWS\SYSTEM directories under the following names:
